Concussion, Physiotherapy, Rugby and Mental Health

Concussion can happen to anybody. Competitiveness and enjoyment of sports can mean the same thing; taking to sports with gusto! It can also mean increasing the risk of injury. As a physiotherapist Cillian was aware of concussions and the general, albeit vague, protocols one is recommended to follow, but when he was concussed, it was the rarely discussed emotional/mental health symptoms that presented themselves. Cillian came through with his enthusiasm and love of life and now works as a physio and co-hosts PT Lab Podcast! We discuss physiotherapy, rugby, of course concussion, his symptoms and why he is keen to focus there.Follow PT Lab Podcast and Swiler's Rugby Club on Instagram.LinkedIn: PT LabPLEASE SHARE, LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!
